I wanted to create a particular still life using my wife's violin. As I put this together using her violin, music, antique books and other items, I quickly realized that I could light this with an unusual method of lighting.
The end result was using a small pen light in total darkness during a 30 second exposure. In darkness, I painted the light on my subject material. I wanted a single exposure to work with instead of multiple images layering them together in Photoshop, so by trial and error, the finished image took over 200 attempts to get the single exposure shot that I wanted. Patience and tenacity was the key to getting this done.
In post production, I added some additional layers to give this image a more vintage look to it.
